DR. EDWARD T. DILLON
DILLON, EDWARD THOMAS, Surgeon, Los Angeles, Cal., was born in that city on April 13, 1877, and has resided there since. He is the son of Richard Dillon and Mary (Hennessy) Dillon. In 1907 he was married to Miss Laura Lynn Doran and has two children, Edward Thomas, Jr., and Mary Philomena.
Dr. Dillon received his collegiate and professional education and training in California institutions, having attended the grammar and high schools of Los Angeles, and finishing in the scientific course of St. Vincent’s College, where he received his degree in 1897. In the fall of the same year he entered the Medical Department of the University of California, and was graduated after a four years’ course with the class of 1901.
Before engaging in practice, Dr. Dillon was for two years one of the resident physicians at the Los Angeles County Hospital, during the incumbency of Dr. E. A. Bryant, the noted surgeon, as chief of the medical and surgical staff of that institution.
In 1908 Dr. Dillon was appointed Division Surgeon of the Southern Pacific, having charge of its medical department from Yuma, Ariz., to Bakersfield, Cal. In 1910 he resigned to devote his entire time to private practice. Dr. Dillon has devoted much of his time to the L. A. Infirmary, better known as the Sisters’ Hospital, and is now surgeon in charge. Dr. Dillon is affiliated with the National State and County medical associations and Pacific Assn. of Railway Surgeons, and contributes to their literature. He is also actively identified with local social clubs and kindred organizations.
